Elections 2014: Live coverage of Cambridge City Council count as Labour and Liberal Democrats battle for control

Live coverage of the Cambridge City Council count at the Guildhall, from local government correspondent Chris Havergal.

Fifteen seats on the authority are up for grabs, with residents in all 14 wards having had the chance to make their mark, with an additional by-election in Petersfield following the resignation of Labour’s Gail Marchant-Daisley.

The stakes could not be higher, with Labour fighting the Liberal Democrats for control of the council. Before the elections, the Liberal Democrats had 21 seats, with Labour on 18 following Ms Marchant-Daisley’s resignation. There was one Conservative and one independent on the authority.
